Comments on: Ketut Liyer – visiting with a Balian http://www.spiritquesttours.com/blog/ketut-liyer-visiting-with-a-balian/ News from Spirit Quest Tours: The official blog of "Julie the Cruise Director" Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:29:07 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Carolyn Wilson http://www.spiritquesttours.com/blog/ketut-liyer-visiting-with-a-balian/comment-page-1/#comment-1241 Carolyn Wilson Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:29:07 +0000 http://spiritquesttours.com/blog/?p=73#comment-1241 Hi, I returned from Ubud 2 days ago and had the pleasure of meeting Ketut Liyer at his home. By the way he does have an address and phone number as he gave me his card as I left and asked me to send him a copy of the photos we took whilst with him which I shall do in the next couple of days. Address: Pengosekan - Mas, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, Telephone 0361 974092. On the back of his card there is a map to get to his home but you may find it easier to find him as we did i.e. our resort had a tourist office and they contacted him for us and spoke to him on our behalf. Directions were given to our driver who found the place with a little difficulty. Communicating was also difficult even for the local tour guide so I think trying to contact him direct without being able to speak the language would be near impossible. My time with Ketut was amazingly special, my only regret is that I had not read Elizabeth Gilbert's book, Eat Pray Love but when I return to Bali hopefully in the not too distant future, I am sure I will have many more questions for him. He is a very special man, with a beautiful smile, and very youthful skin. His wicked sense of humour remains with me and I often find myself smiling at some of the things he said. When my daughter and I visited we were fortunate in that we were the only ones there at the time apart from our driver and translator. We left him with the most incredible feeling of inner peace.

There is no phone number nor even any real address, though many people know him. Our guide is friends with him and that's how we brought our groups to him. Yes, there is a charge for seeing him - otherwise, he would be "empty in his bank account"! Ask him what the fee is - it's not too expensive, though costs a lot compared to Balinese standards. No appointment is possible - you go and sit in the compound until the others in front of you are finished, then you get your turn. Good luck! Blessings, Halle aka Julie the Cruise Director Akshay –

Also wanted to know if there are any charges for visiting and consulting him. Also is a prior appointment necessary and how can one schedule it? Your help in the matter will be highly appreciated. Thanks.... Hi,

His home is a typical Balinese compound, a gathering of buildings which are situated North, South, East and West, and a big open pavilion at the center with a low bed or sofa. Palmist Ketut meets people under a smaller side pavilion, and the waiting group sits under another open area.

Just thinking that it would make a great Christmas gift for someone who loved the book.
